325: Spring Fund Drive: Tim Kowalczyk on his trompe l'oeil ceramics

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Tim Kowalczyk. His trompe l’oeil ceramic vessels
mimic cardboard, Styrofoam, and other normally disposable
industrial materials. In our interview we talk about the building
process for making trompe l’oeil objects, the symbiotic benefits
of being loyal to a gallery, and his web series “Critiquing with
Kids.” To find out more about Tim visit www.timsceramics.com.


 


On today’s AMACO Community Corkboard we have the History of
Ceramics Instagram feed. If you need a break from politics and
the pandemic you can fill your feed with photographs of ceramic
vessels and sculptures from global history. Images are tagged
with links to the Metropolitan Museum, Sotheby’s, or other
institutions to help you research your favorite genres of
historical pottery and sculpture. To join in follow
@historyofceramics on Instagram.


 


Hey Red Clay Rambler fans, we have embarked on our ninth season
of the show and to celebrate we are having a spring fund drive.
Since the quarantine started, I’ve gotten emails of support about
how the podcast helps listeners feel connected to the friends
they can’t physically be around. The podcast continues to be a
great way to connect with other artists from the comfort and
safety of your own home studio. You can support the show with a
donation through the Pay Pal donation portal at
www.talesofaredclayrambler.com/donate or by making a monthly
pledge at patreon.com/redclayrambler. If you join Patreon
today you can access perks like t-shirts, water bottles and other
podcast swag, as well as having access to the Patreon exclusive
Tales from the Vault podcast, which features remastered episodes
that are no longer available on major podcast apps. Your donation
or pledge will help me reach the goal of raising $3000 for this
fund drive. Thanks for listening and stay safe out there.
